I just checked 3 HP-UX 9.07 boxes, and not a single one has libPW.a, so
it's probably not a good idea to depend on its existence. Must be a
function of the installation, and not part of the base runtime.
However, all the 10.20 boxes I checked do seem to have libPW.a; I don't
even remember the last time I touched a 8.x box ....
